January 17, 2016: Winn Schott and the Return of Toyman on "Supergirl"

Season 1, Episode 10 'Childish Things' In Monday night's new episode of "Supergirl", Winn Schott has to deal with the return of his father... the villain Toyman, who escapes from prison to cause problems for both his son and Supergirl.

    Winn has made passing comments about his father being in jail, but all of those repressed feelings will come out full force when daddy dearest goes head to head with Winn's superhero best friend. "We learn who my father is," Jordan told TVGuide.com during a recent visit to the Supergirl set. "He's not a very good guy. He tries to rope me into his world again, which Winn wants nothing to do with."

    The unexpected family reunion will have big consequences for Winn, who has painstakingly tried to put a barrier between his family life and his life in National City with Kara (Melissa Benoist) and the Supergirl mission. "He's completely tried to forget that part of his life, tuck it in a box and never talk about it again," Jordan said. "The fact that he's sort of forced to face it and deal with it [evokes] a lot of things that he's been holding down. You kind of see he deals with everything with a little bit of humor, but that comes from a place of defense. We start to see that defense mechanism break down in a big way. Consequentially, it affects other things going on in his life at the same time."
